Cadets are neither officers nor are they enlisted personnel. Cadets still attend Starfleet Academy and only serve on Starfleet ships for training purpose for a limited time period.

The term also applies to attendees of the Starfleet Marine Corps Academy.

The equivalent term in the Federation Starfighter Corps is air cadet.

Romulan Naval Academy cadets were considered as senior as petty officers (Erei'Erein) on their cadet cruise, even if they served on Romulan Star Navy ships for training purposes for a limited time period.

Also, both the Hydran Royal Navy and the Lyran Starfleet make use of cadets.
